Cat and
Kitten Fostering Scheme

To help find homes for our many kittens and cats
we have initiated a cat and kitten fostering
scheme. This enables people living in Antigua to
take a cat home without the worry of what
happens when, or if, they move off Island.

PAAWS guarantees that we will take
these cats back if necessary.

We particularly hope that this will appeal to
students, many of whom like to come and
volunteer with us. We hope that they will be
fostering when the new school year begins and
after their summer break.

Going away on holiday and don't have anyone to look after your dog or cat?

Don't worry. We will take good care of your pet, while you are away. We give personalized service to accommodate the needs of your loved one, and our competitive prices are based on their requirements, and length of stay.

Boarding fees have been vital towards helping the shelter dogs.

Your dog will get his/her own fenced kennel with dog house, which will be cleaned
twice daily. He/she will also have daily playtime in the yard, where he/she can run
around, enjoying the company of many new friends.
